TCK Powerball Bounce Mushroom Growth

[Evan28395950]

Hey everyone, just received the powerball mushroom today. I have done a thread on the growth of my WWC Og bounce mushroom, and haven’t seen much information as to how fast the power ball bounce mushroom grows. I’ll post some photos of it with bubbles fully inflated and happy within the next few days. It’s starting size is between a dime and nickel.

Very cool!

Here’s it with bubbles inflated

It has now adjusted to my tank, bubbles are fully inflated and it’s the size of a nickel.

Definitely has grown since last photo. Still doing great.

Curious about the cost as well, went to the TCK site sadly is sold out. Was this snagged in a live sale?

Last place I've seen this mushroom is @ChaosAquaculture, Brad are you growing this still? Will the price change?

Desert Storm Bounce Mushroom is a beautiful collectors mushroom. The bounce bubbles are blue with gold streaking. This mushroom is approx 3/4" in diameter.

Pretty low maintenance coral overall, the care for the powerball is very similar to the og or Sunkist. It was $800. It included a DOA guarantee which was most important to me due to how shipping has become less reliable due to COVID.

Joker coral had some for sale a few days ago, but they sold out, i believe their pieces were $800 for a 1/2-3/4”. I got mine from a vendor on facebook

Planning to frag it within the next month. I’m trying to decide it I wanted to cut it in half, or just cut a smaller piece off.

I would say very close to quarter size

Change of plans, I fragged it today, I was fragging my Sunkist and just fragged the powerball as well

Went well, cut it normally like my other mushrooms, I avoided cutting near the large bubbles. With take photos tomorrow.
